Some open source projects are very welcoming, some not so. Sometimes I wonder why I even bother to try to contribute only to be 'greeted' with deafening silence. They should *always* value contributors as that is the future for these projects.
I just found myself asking this: "What is needed to get this thing moving? Or is 'the silence' the way of saying no thank you?"I think I know the answer... now asking myself "why did I even bother in the first place".

What is a better start of work after holidays then to do a PR to an Open Source project #kunena
It's where appreciation meets appreciation where the magic happens!

Just released 22 (!) new major versions for my extensions as Release Candidate. All technical debt removed so we are good to run on #Joomla 6 and (minimum) Joomla 5.3. Sending out newsletter tomorrow.
What a trip....
Biggest conclusion in making these extensions Joomla 6 ready is that I have to many extensions #lol
Still one very big extension to go... will take me again a couple of days work, but hé... the Joomla show must go on :) -

On the menu today: finishing a new custom extension for a customer with which he can sync #joomla articles between sites: going to use it to create a global site for marketing purposes where regional content is then imported and linked to.
Concept is cool and can be extended with other content (categories, tags, users) to... Syncing can be many-to-many

So yesterday my eye caught a blog posted here on Mastodon that had an added link to the authors profile here on the fediverse. Cool!
Will be adding fediverse metatags to my #joomla ochOpenGraph plugin so we can also have full support for this in Joomla.Is there an overview of metatags specifically for the fediverse, or is there (currently) just one (fediverse:creator)?

Busy day today, doing some changes for a US customer (note to self: thank them abundantly :)), starting a project for a Hongkong based customer, testing new feature I build in yesterday for ochSubscriptions (maintainers of Fabrik will love this), and doing some household chores... as a widower also need to keep the personal 'business' a float...
How do you mix personal and business life?

So after yesterdays emergency #joomla security update, today planned time to pick up any pieces... Looking at what has changed, I do not expect any issues so will enjoy my coffee a little bit more today :)
Have you updated all your (client) sites already? Any issues encountered?

Going to push some extension updates in a minute, #Joomla is doing a new release (security) today and experience learns that most website maintainers take that opportunity to also update their extensions... Note sure if that is a good strategy, but it is what I see happening.
What do you think: good or not good updating your extensions while updating Joomla itself?

Prepping for tomorrows #joomla security release. No time to test as we don't know what changed in this release, so rolling up sleeves and be prepared when installing. What I heard this could be a big one (not in terms of changes, but in terms of exploits).
In the meantime working on some new ideas, and still sitting on the idea of doing short video's #procrastinating #nottokeenonthespotlightWhat are you up to today, love to hear it!

This morning discussed what I would do when I retire... I would do what I do now. The moment you realize how fortunate you are.
Love my job!What would you do when you retire?

Having worked on ochFoundation5 the last two weeks, my mind is 'bursting' with things I would love to add to it to make it even more feature complete. But I can only spend my time once.
I find it personally hard to stop improving when there is no direct need from customers to improve.At what point do you say it is good enough?
Do you recognize this? How do you handle it / do you have advice?

Taking some time for the 'afterparty' af ter yesterdays release of the new major version of ochFoundation5 (yes, 50% coupon is still valid: https://onlinecommunityhub.nl/och-click-this/ochfoundation5/mastodon). And for those who say Mastodon has no 'reach', been tracking my 'campaign' on linkedin, facebook, bluesky and here on mastodon: mastodon turns out to be the one with the most visitors #JustSoYouKnow
Think today is a good time to fiddle with #DietPi never a dull moment

Back to the challenge of dealing with a slow API that provides stock rates. fetching all stocks needed sometimes takes over 20 minutes. The supplier isn't going to fix their response times so we need to refactor on our end. Maybe split op the fetching to do them in parallel instead of sequential, I don't think that in the end this will make a huge difference... #joomla #JoomlaDevelopment #LifeOfaDeveloper
How do you deal with external services acting up? -
